The scientist from the "Turbulent Civilization" has been placed in the research center on Earth by Li Wenyuan. With his joining, the scientific research division has become more efficient in engineering scientific and technological research.

At this time, most of the synthetic humans on the earth have been transferred to other galaxies by Li Wenyuan to serve as manpower. There are some things that cannot be completed by construction robots alone, and "people" must coordinate from the side.

The robot assembly factory is also working day and night to produce new synthetic humans and send them to various places where manpower is needed. This makes Li Wenyuan feel like a black-hearted boss who exploits robots endlessly.

But it's all worth it. He can see through data visualization that his production capacity is booming, which is much better than the embarrassing situation when he first came here with nothing.

The nearly destroyed facilities on the earth have also begun a long repair project. At least Li Wenyuan does not want the home planet to remain in a mess.

Today, after once again being busy with domestic affairs, he set his sights on a star system some distance away from the solar system.

There is a ruined interstellar engineering project waiting for his exploration.

…

The Carroll Galaxy is a standard single star system.

Six planets rotate around a G-type main sequence star in the center, forming the appearance of this galaxy.

At first glance, it looks unremarkable, not much different from the many inconspicuous galaxies in the Milky Way.

But when you focus your attention on the third planet here, you will find that there is a huge building floating near that planet.

Its size far exceeds the scope of normal "buildings". The giant thing that is comparable to the size of a city on the planet is only a part of the structure of this "building".

Countless such structures combine with each other, eventually forming a giant interstellar building that is not inferior to the planets.

Such buildings are called "megastructures".

Their functions tend to be single, but with such a huge volume base, their efficiency is also amplified countless times.

In the galaxy, such huge structures can often cause disputes between civilizations, and there are many civilizations that fight over this.

But the huge building in front of me seemed very deserted, with almost no one paying attention to it.

A pirate boy sat in a confined space, biting into a low-quality energy bar he had found, and asked the pirate leader beside him inarticulately:

"Boss, why do you think this can be our nest? Not every civilization would like to control this kind of giant structure, so why would we be allowed to build a nest in it?"

He ate so deliciously that he chewed the rubbery energy bar as if he were eating something delicious.

However, several other pirate members looked at the energy bars in their hands and silently threw them aside.

As the most unpalatable and nutritious thing in the galaxy, the "swarms" shook their heads just looking at it.

The pirate leader was also chewing the energy bar with difficulty, but he still answered the pirate boy's question while swallowing:

"This huge structure is so dilapidated that it has no repair value. Even dismantling it and selling it for scrap is not worth the fuel cost, so no one will care about it."

It took a lot of effort for him to swallow the energy bar. It took him a long time to calm down before continuing:

"But this is a good hiding place for us. Although it is dilapidated, there are many such sealed cabins that can be used for repairs and storage of supplies."

"Moreover, most civilizations in the galaxy know that this place is completely abandoned and will not come here at all. Only those young people who have just entered the interstellar world will explore this place out of curiosity."

"Speaking of it, there used to be a group of pirates here besides us, but they were all doing the dirty work of killing people, stealing goods, and bullying the weak. They haven't appeared for a long time now. They probably fell into trouble because of their kicks."

The pirate leader spoke eloquently here, and it seemed that he had been around for a long time.

After hearing this sentence, a pirate member who forcefully swallowed the energy bar with nausea said incoherently:

"Bullying? It seems that we often attack newcomers who are new to space. We do everything except killing people."

The pirate leader glared and forcefully defended himself: "I told them to know the dangers of the interstellar in advance! Otherwise, with their naivety, sooner or later they will be deceived by those universal companies and lose their pants!"

"Yes, yes, everything the boss said is right..."

In the end, the group of pirates suppressed their nausea and swallowed their inferior energy bars. After all, they had not made much money as pirates for so many years, so they could only eat this kind of thing.

"Let's go after eating. Haven't there been rumors recently that the lost civilization of the 'Guardians' has begun to expand? I heard that they are near this star field. If we stay here all the time, we might be cleaned up as rubbish.

, it’s better to seize the time and move somewhere.”

The pirate leader asked his men to take away as much as they could, and then hurriedly left the galaxy.

They were lucky, because not long after they left here, a small spacecraft arrived.

This small spacecraft is a research ship from the "Guardians". It has a clear goal, pointing directly at the giant structure on the third planet.

"...The sensors show that there is a huge building here, but it looks like it has been completely destroyed."

Li Wenyuan looked at the huge building in the picture, feeling a little uninterested.

"I think so. The star map of Keruibo also indicates that there is a destroyed giant structure here. If it could be repaired normally, they would have come to occupy it. How could no one care about it?"

Although he thought so, the scientific research spacecraft still sent out as many drones as possible to scan this giant building.

Although it is a destroyed giant structure, the remaining wreckage may be able to provide some data for the sixth-level technology "megastructure construction project."

As the drone scanned, more and more detailed information about this giant building became available, and he also received good news.

[Nearly abandoned sentinel array]

[Introduction: This giant building was almost destroyed over a long period of time, but through analysis, we still have the possibility to restore part of its functions. It is speculated that this giant building existed as a "giant monitor" in the past

. Its various facilities can scan space within a very large range, and combine data calculations and simulations to obtain results with an accuracy infinitely close to 100%, thereby realizing interstellar monitoring of civilization on a space scale]

[New technology has been added to the technology tree]

Li Wenyuan did not expect that it would be possible to repair this nearly destroyed mega-structure, even if only a part of it could be repaired.

He directly called up the technology tree and looked at the newly added technology. If his guess was correct, this new technology must be able to help repair this giant building.

Sure enough, he saw a new technology on the "living metal" technology tree.

【Living Metal Repair Project】

[Technology level: 5]

[Introduction: This almost universal special metal can replace most materials. With its help, we can repair those "wonders" across the ages with limited technological levels]

[Possible Technology: Living Metal Megastructure (0.2%)]

"Living metal? I have quite a lot of this stuff." Li Wenyuan immediately worked non-stop to build a star base in this galaxy to declare his sovereignty. At the same time, he also asked the engineering ship to pull up the living metal and start repairing this huge structure.

Since he had the "Dimensional Manufacturing Machine", his living metal resources are not only those that come with the earth. These magical "making things out of nothing" machines can also produce living metals.

So after a long period of time, part of the repair work was completed on this ruined giant structure that attracted Li Wenyuan's attention.

It still looks like the same broken state, but some of its functions have been restored with the help of living metal.

[Connection has been established with the entire sentinel column]

[Sentinel array repair progress: 20%]

[Monitoring range: small]

【Do you want to turn on the sentinel array? 】

"Is it only possible to repair it to this extent? I don't expect too much. Let's see its effect first."

Under Li Wenyuan's instructions, this ancient abandoned giant structure once again showed bleak vitality.

Starting from the Carroll Galaxy, momentary space fluctuations occurred in thousands of surrounding star systems.

This fluctuation passed by in a flash and had no impact on the interstellar space.

But several civilizations within the surveillance range of the Sentinel Array are not so lucky.

Everything in their galaxy was exposed in an instant. The "wide-area interrupter" they used to block other civilizations from snooping had no effect. It was like a layer of bubbles that was burst by the sentinel array.

Fortunately, the weaker civilizations among them did not realize that they had been "seen in the light".

However, some interstellar civilizations with certain strength fell into chaos instantly. They realized that the "wide-area interrupter" had failed and the information in the galaxy was rapidly flowing out.

They frantically searched for the cause, and soon launched various condemnations and threats to a star field where the "mastermind" was believed to be.

Unfortunately, it didn't take long for them to change the messages to "Sorry, sent to the wrong place", "Our diplomatic ambassador suffers from severe mental illness. This was a momentary mistake. We have sent him to prison", "I

My pet accidentally pressed the send button, now I have taken care of it, please don’t worry about it" and other words to clarify the relationship, and then rebuild their "wide area interrupter" in despair.

Although they cannot prevent the surveillance of this "mastermind", they can still prevent other civilizations.

Even though it is shameful to do so, the fact that everyone is embarrassed together means that no one is ashamed, and no one has the right to criticize anyone.

Because they discovered that this "mastermind" seemed to be an "omnic civilization" with unfathomable technology, and even repaired a giant building that was deemed "worthless".

And this civilization, from all aspects, seems to be the Lost Empire of the "Guardians" that has been in the spotlight recently.
